The energy storage company SaltX Technology – listed on Nasdaq First North – is one of the 2018 New Energy Pioneers awarded by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). Innovative companies from around the world are recognized for their leadership in clean energy technologies and business transformation. BNEF has carefully selected, and awarded, the best innovators that are revolutionizing the energy, transport and technology sectors. The 2018 New Energy Pioneers were announced at the Bloomberg Future of Energy Summit in New York on Monday.

By recognizing innovators, Bloomberg aims to highlight and accelerate the transition that is underway in today’s new energy economy, towards new business models, technologies, market structures and commercial opportunities. The winners are responding to changes and disruption in the energy system and are pursuing new opportunities in areas as diverse as storage, electric vehicle charging, digitalization, heat recovery and blockchain.

SaltX CEO Karl Bohman, who is attending Bloomberg’s Future Energy Summit to give a speech and receive the award in New York City today, says:

"Being an Bloomberg New Energy Pioneer means of course a great honor and helps putting SaltX on the map, but it also means a great responsibility for making the sustainable energy revolution happen. We at SaltX promise to work tirelessly - and we will not stop - until our low-cost, scalable and natural energy storage technology is used on a global basis.”
